Sixers legend Bobby Jones ranked No. 18 power forward of all time

Philadelphia 76ers legend Bobby Jones, a key member of the franchise's 1983 NBA championship team, was recognized as one of the league's best sixth men, winning the Sixth Man of the Year award that season. During the 1983 playoffs, he averaged 8.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 2.8 assists, and 1.5 blocks.

Over his eight seasons with the Sixers, Jones averaged 10.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks. His contributions led to the retirement of his No. 24 jersey, honoring him as one of the franchise's great players.

HoopsHype ranked Jones as the No. 18 power forward in NBA history. The ranking highlighted him as one of the first multi-positional wing/big defenders, capable of legitimately guarding any position on the floor at a high level. While not a primary scorer, he excelled as a slasher and around the basket ("garbageman"). His impact was evident through his work on both ends of the floor, with the article suggesting the Sixers' success, particularly in winning, might not have been the same without his consistent effort on the "little plays".
